Brock Purdy In The Concussion Protocol

Brock Purdy In The Concussion Protocol

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (concussion) has entered into the NFL's concussion protocol. The fact that Purdy entered the protocol on Wednesday makes him a long shot to suit up on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, which means Sam Darnold would be the presumptive starter for San Francisco. Purdy has been under some scrutiny over the last two weeks, both 49ers' losses, due to his decision-making and execution in the fourth quarter but he is a much better option to lead the San Francisco offense, due to his experience, than Darnold, who is playing on his third team in the last four years. If Purdy ends up sitting on Sunday, which is highly likely, then all San Francisco fantasy-relevant players outside of Christian McCaffrey should be downgraded.
